I would highly recommend Breckenridge!http://www.breckenridge.com/http://www.gobreck.com/I have been skiing all over the southwest and I would have to say that Breckenridge is in my top 4 along with Telluride, Colorado, Taos, NM and Alta, Utah. It is a really fun town with a lot to do, the skiing is superb, the lodging is great, and they have some really cool bars/restaurants.I think it s about a hour from Idaho Springs.
Probably got some good restaurants you can check out. Bars/ clubs or even certain other clubs haha
sorry i have nooo idea, ive never been there =[
